Chapter 21: Some Hot Chick(Mia)

Mia?"Ava says shaking me.

What?"I snap and open my eyes. She keeps me awake all night by forcing me to tell her about Leo and then she wakes me up at 11 in the morning. And Ava waking up on any morning is impossible. My sister could sleep like a log. I was still sleepy and I wanted more of it.

I need you to head to the library and drop off some books for me,"she tells me with a sugary, syrupy voice.

I groan. What are you doing up so early anyways?"I ask her, frowning.

Early?"Ava scoffs. You call 11 in the morning early?"

Yes,"I mutter sleepily. What time did you wake up anyways?"

Oh around 8, I think?"she says thoughtfully.

8?"I say and my eyes shoot open. You're kidding me? How come you're an early bird now?'

Well after you left and I was all alone here, I guess I just started waking up real early,"she says brightly.

Oh. Well, can I have at least five more minutes of sleep?"I ask sleepily and close my eyes for a few more minutes.

No, you can't,"she says and pulls my duvet off me and leaves them on the floor. It was like old times. I would curl up and simply go back to sleep. Then Ava would come back in five minutes or so and then wake me up properly. I would drag myself to the bathroom and then spend at least half an hour in there. Then I would come out and dry my hair and then get into some clothes. Some days I took the trouble to dress up properly but other days, when I wasn't really in the mood to dress up or just wanted to wear comfy clothes, I would just fling on whatever I liked to wear.

And today was no different. I got up and had a bath, brushed my teeth and then changed into a pair of shorts and an over sized shirt and head downstairs to the kitchen. I made some toast and then took the cup of freshly brewed coffee from Ava and sat down on the table. I ate my breakfast slowly while Ava riffled through the papers and tinkered around in the kitchen.

I looked outside the window and it looked pretty gloomy. It had just rained and I wasn't exactly thrilled about going outside where it was going to be all wet and slippery. I should be back in bed all tucked up, nice and cosy.

I such a lzay person,"I tell myself and chuckle lightly.

What time are Mom and Dad coming tommorow?"I ask Ava.

Erm, Late in the afternoon. Mum said maybe around three or four,"She says. Why?"

Just wanted to know,"I tell her

Hey are you planning to go anywhere after you drop off my books?"Ava asks.

I shook my head. Nope I'm coming straight home back to my bed,"I say longingly.

God, Mia. Why are you such a bore?"Ava says.

I'm not a bore,"I say defensively. Its just that it's cold outside and I want to stay all curled up in bed and maybe read a book,"

Sound nice but you and I are going out to do something,"she says firmly.

But Ava I don't want to,"I protest but she stuffs my mouth with leftover bits of my toast.

No buts,"she says and skips off. I sigh and swallow my toast and then head upstairs. I change into this .com/some_hot_chick/set?id=47617457, Did my make-up and braided my hair into an untidy side-braid and then head downstairs. Ava wasn't down yet so I decided to head outside and dump her large stack of books in her car.

I sigh when I open the door. The cold, humid air hits my skin and cause goose bumps to rise and I rub my hands together.

(Zayn)

Wake up, boys it 10.30,"Mum says gently. She switches on the light and it fills my dark room which a lightning speed.

Mum no,"I protest and cover my eyes. Off the light,"

I know you too well, Zayn. The minute I turn the light off, you're going to go back to sleep,"Mum says with a laugh. Next to me Harry's still sound asleep and Louis's mumbling something in his sleep. Mum gives another 10 minutes and then I head to the bathroom and then have a quick shower. I didn't shave today eventhough I had a two day stubble on.

That's enough of looking at yourself, Vain,"Harry grumbles sleepily. He's standing at the entrance of the bathroom, waiting for his turn to use the shower.

See you downstairs, Curls,"I tell him and pinch his cheeks affectionately.

Zayn!"Harry protests. When I head downstairs to the kitchen, I see Niall and Liam already seated at the table, Niall with his plate groaning of bacon, eggs, sausages and toast and Liam reading the papers, slowly sipping his tea

So is Mia coming back for the holidays then?"I ask Doniya. From the corner of my eyes I see the boys smile knowingly.

Coming back?"she scoffs. She's already home, she arrived a day earlier,"

I nod and I know instantly what I'm going to do today. I scurry down my food and then gulp my tea quickly.

Pass the bacon will you Zayn?"Niall asks. This must be then 5th time he asked me to pass him the bacon but you know our Niall. He eats a lot. Suddenly there's small explosion of a noise and I whip head around.

Niall's dropped a big one this time,"Harry says, pinching his nose. Phooey Niall!"

What?"Niall says innocently. It doesn't even smell,"

Sure it doesn't,"I tell him with a laugh. I pass the plate of bacon to Niall and finish my breakfast. Anyone want to come with me, see Mia?"

I'll come,"Louis volunteers. But let me finish me breakfast,"

Then I'll go ahead first,"I say impatiently.

Someone's eager to see his one true love, isn't he?"Louis teases. Liam laughes into his tea, Niall chokes on his food and Harry winked at me.

Shut up,"I say and smile. I'm gonna go ahead okay?"

Louis gives me a look and then nods. Try not to love her too hard okay?"he says. Save some for me,"

I laugh and head outside. Its a normal cold-humid day out and I'm actually enjoying this weather. I walk too fast down the steps and nearly lose my balance. I walk slowly then and see Mia walking outside, with a tired and annoyed look on her face. I can feel my confidence wearing off and I take a deep breath. I walk up to their house and smile at Mia but she doesn't see me.

Mia's holding a huge stack of books and doesn't even look at me when I walk into their house path. The stacks of books she's carrying is too much for her to even see so I clear my throat but even that doesn't work. As she nears me, I wave awkwardly at her and as she nears me I catch the scent of her perfume. That toxic, delicious and special, spicy and my favorite one on her. She crashes into me, her books sliding of her grip and falling on to the ground. She falls to the ground without even looking up.

Watch where you're going, will you?"she says in an annoyed tone. The exact same words I had told her the first time we met.

There are better ways to say sorry, Douche,"I tell her with a grin and get to my knees to help her. She looks up into my eyes and her expression changes from an annoyed one to a look of recognition.

Zayn?"she stutters, looking stunned for a second.

Hey Mia,"I tell her cheerfully. Vas Happenin?"I continue and hold my hands out for a hug. But then her expression changes completely to one full of fury.

Vas Happenin?"she says. You ignore me for half a fucking year and you come back and tell me Vas Happenin?"she continues. She loses it completely and then flings a book at me.

Zayn Malik you complete cow. You ignore my emails, my messages and my calls and come back and tell me Vas Happening?"she screeches and throws more books at me. I duck and try to dodge as many as I can, most of them hitting my shoulder and my legs.

Mia, I can explain *duck*, I'm really sorry,"I yell at her.

Oh so now you're sorry huh?"she says. I'm not letting you off the hook so easily for this Zayn,"

(Louis POV)

Right gentleman, I'm off to Mia's,"I say and stand up in a very important sort of manner. Harry snickers and I turn my nose up at him haughtily. It was sort of funny to behave like that. I scoot out the front and skip along the pavement like a little girl. I can hear a girl yelling and I walk curiously in that direction and then I see some hot chick throwing books at Zayn so I run back in to get the boys.

Guys! Guys! There's some hot chick throwing books at Zayn!"I yell. She's gotta be a Belieber or something,"

What?"Liam says. Louis is this one of your lame jokes, I swear I will chop you up and eat you myself,"

Go ahead then,"I tell him. I bet I taste better than the rest of you,"

No, Niall would cause he eats the most and would taste the best,"Harry points out. I give Harry a look.

The boys follow me out and when they see the pretty girl throwing books at Zayn and yelling furiously, we head to break the fight up. I head straight to the girl and hold her back. Boy does she have some strength. It took both Harry and I to restrain her and event hen we had problems holding her back

Let go off me Hazza and Lou. Just let me have one go at that complete...,"the girl says some very colorful words (Harry winces lightly) and manages to throw another book at Zayn which hits him right on his face, who's obviously let his guard down.

Oww,"Zayn says and the girl laughs hysterically.

Hang on,"Harry says surprised. Do we know you?"

Of course you do,"She answers and holds still so Harry and I let her go.

No we don't,"Niall says awkwardly.

Oh this is new. You don't know me?"She scoffs. Have you all gone and gotten your memories wiped off then? I'm his ex-best friend,"

Mia?"

(Zayn)

So now I'm positively baffled. The boys came outside to see the commotion and managed to stop Mia from hitting me with more books. But the minute I let my guard down, she manages to hit me squarely on my face and its taking a lot of control not to swear as loud as I can. Then when the boys say the don't recognize her, she points a finger at me and says "I'm his EX-BESTFRIEND,"

And then she shakes Harry and Louis off her and stomp back into her house and slams the door behind her.

That was Mia,"Niall says, looking stunned. We look at each other for a second when the door is opened again.

You guys too,"Mia says to the lads. I tried to get to all of you but no, none of you answered back,"

Well we had to change our numbers and emails and stuff like that,"Liam says defensively. We couldn't have fans calling us all the time could we?"

That's still no excuse for Zayn to have not have my number or email as a matter of fact,"Mia says, pointing an accusing finger at me. She shook her head and turned around to walk back in but I run after her and stop her.

Mia, Look at this,"I tell her and hold my wrist up for her.

What?"Mia snaps angrily and then looks at the friendship bracelet on my hand that she'd given me before I left for the tour.

I never took it off and I'm really sorry,"I start to say. I know what I did is unforgiveable but I want to make it up to you and show you that I can be a better friend. If you would just give me another chance,"

To my utter suprise, Mia starts tearing up and smiles meekly. She runs up to me and hugs me tightly.

Oh Zayn,"she says while sobbing. I've missed you so much and I didn't know what I'd done to make you this angry with me until you stopped talking to me for months and I felt so hurt and angry that you just threw me aside like that,"

I'm so sorry I threw the books at you and of course I forgive you,"she continues and buries her head onto my shoulder and cries harder. I hug her back and turn my head around to look at the boys. Harry, Niall and Liam have the same bewildered look on their faces like me while Louis's crouched over laughing as hard as he can.

I will never understand women,"I think. And as if she's read my mind, Mia looks at Louis and frowns. She steps away from me.

I'm having my period, ok?"she says. That's why I'm so emo,"

She wipes her tears and then smiles at me.

I've really missed you, Mia. More than you could possibly imagine,"I tell her and hug her again.

I bet I missed you more,"she says.

Nope. I missed you more,"I tell her.
